Bio Diesel>>
- Bio Diesel refers to a diesel-equivalent processed fuel consisting of short chain alkyl (methyl or ethyl) esters, made by processing of vegetable oils or
animal fats, which can be used (alone, or blended with conventional diesel fuel) in unmodified diesel-engine vehicles
- Bio Diesel is biodegradable and non-toxic, and typically produces about 60% less net-lifecycle carbon dioxide emissions, as it is itself produced from
atmospheric carbon dioxide via photosynthesis in plants. Its emissions of smog forming hydrocarbon are 65% less, although the Nitrogen Oxide emissions are
about 10% greater than those from petroleum-based diesel. Net-lifetime carbon dioxide emissions can actually differ widely between fuels depending
upon production methods of the source vegetable oils and processing methods employed in their creation. It is therefore debatable as to the extent that
biodiesel reduces total carbon dioxide emissions currently contributing to anthropogenic global warming compared to those from petroleum-based diesel.

Some vehicle manufacturers are positive about the use of biodiesel, citing lower engine wear as one of the fuel's benefits. Biodiesel is a better solvent
than standard diesel, as it 'cleans' the engine, removing deposits in the fuel lines. However, this may cause blockages in the fuel injectors if an engine
has been previously run on petroleum diesel for years
- Bio Diesel can also be used as a heating fuel in domestic and commercial boilers. Existing oil boilers may contain rubber parts and may require conversion to run on Bio diesel, but the conversion process is usually relatively simple involving the exchanging of rubber parts for synthetic ones due to biodiesel
being a strong solvent.
- Bio Diesel can be distributed using today's infrastructure, and its use and production are increasing rapidly. Fuel stations are beginning to make biodiesel
available to consumers, and a growing number of transport fleets use it as an additive in their fuel. Biodiesel is generally more expensive to purchase than
petroleum diesel but this differential may diminish due to economies of scale, the rising cost of petroleum and government tax subsidies.
- Our Integrated engineering concepts of Bio-diesel Plant construction is the way to produce bio-diesel efficiently as well as cost effectively.
